Hot Air Coming From My Air Conditioner

Air conditioner not cooling the air in your home enough? Here’s what it means – and what you should do about it.

It’s Getting
Hot in Here

There’s a big difference between air that’s a couple of degrees warmer than ideal and air that’s not being cooled down at all. Here’s what you need to know if you’re faced with the second scenario.

When It’s Normal

Florida summers are brutal, and even the best air conditioners can only do so much. The rule of thumb is that your AC can cool the air inside your home by about 20 degrees, give or take a couple. If your home’s air is a couple of degrees warmer than what’s on your thermostat on a hot summer day, that’s most likely normal.

When to Call in a Pro

A couple of degrees of difference is normal – more than that is not. If your home is uncomfortably warm despite your thermostat being set at a comfortable temperature, there’s something wrong.

Why Your AC Isn’t Cooling

Broken or malfunctioning electrical components

What to Do About It

Long story short: hot air coming into your house means that something is wrong with your HVAC system internally, and the best way to fix it is to call a trusted professional. Get cool and stay comfortable as quickly as possible by relying on a pro you can count on.
